POPSBaby P: the evidence grows Labour will close Parliament early and stay on holiday longer. We are in an economic crisis of Gordon Brown's making. A child murdered and it appears easier to have save his life than let it expire, but all we will get is another useless inquiry. If 80 head teachers think that Sharon Shoesmith is doing a good job, then perhaps they too should reflect on their competence?

POPSClinton to Head State Dept.? Politico describes this as a "secret meeting," but it's got to be one of the worst-kept secrets ever. The tone of the piece is rumor, but the fact that there's a specific cabinet post being talked about suggests there's probably something more. Previous reports had Sec. of State as a contest between John Kerry and Bill Richardson. I liked Richardson for the post, but I would've been happy with either. To tell the truth, at this point in time, I've got nothing against HRC taking it either.

POPSBailout? What Bailout. Does acting quickly have the desired effect of appearing to know what you are doing? In the case of the $700B Wall Street bailout, the answer is apparently, No. The fact is Henry Paulson doesn’t have a clue how to best use this money and the program that was originally passed has changed. It is down right scary to know that Congress will vote for a plan without details of that plan and place unprecedented power in the hands of a man who has now clearly shown does not know what to do with the money. People are still loosing their homes and jobs, and our faith in our future is being badly shaken. CEO’s and big oil are walking away with record profits. Politicians grasp at any glimmer of hope to keep things working and no one is truly in control of anything.

POPSSteele Running for RNC Chairman, Gingrich "Ideas Guy" Gingrich and Steele are working together to create a new strategy for the direction of the GOP I like the direction this is heading, if correct. Michael Steele is an eminently likable guy who can communicate conservative values and ideas with competence and charm, and has always inspired the base. He comes without the significant political baggage of a Newt chairmanship, but will undoubtedly be bolstered by Newt's ideas, as Gingrich has signaled that he wants to be very involved in the remaking of a party that could use some new ideas. As for the somewhat fallacious face-off David Brooks drew between traditionalists and reformists, a Steele and Newt alliance could offer both a fresh face and fresh ideas without succumbing to the temptation to fight Democrats by becoming second-rate, imitation liberals. Both are "Hayesian reformitionalists" (see the above link) in their public pronouncements.

POPSNational and South Sudan governments sign accord According to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, and the Interim National Constitution the two national bodies have to define the legal framework in the fields of joint competence, also to agree on the modalities to implement the federal attributions. The legal affairs committee is one of the eleven panels set by the Joint Political Executive Committee meetings between the National Congress Party (NCP) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) on the implementation process of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA).

POPSBut, John, You Can't Fire the SEC Chair One of the biggest myths of the current presidential campaign is the competence of John McCain. He makes elementary blunders often (like thinking that the Pime Minister from Spain is located in Latin America). Some are now speculating that something is "up" with his capacity to reason. It might be more charitable to simply point out that he graduated second-to-last in his class for nothing.

POPSSoldier kills his friend, gets two years.
Almost 40 years ago, the Army, under pressure from the wholly civilian MoD, brought in a ludicrous charge into QR&R's of negligent(accidental) discharge of a weapon. At the time, here were sufficient protests to challenge this Rule, not only because...if you train a soldier to a sufficient level of competence, then this type of incident would never occur - a position the civilians in the MoD could never understand. With this charge came a mandatory 28 day Corrective training - cells to you and me - for anyone discharging a weapon unlawfully. What was never understood was that the intent or otherwise mens rea and actus rheus - of each incident could never be verified. At this period of time, especially in the Royal Marines, every incident of a negligent discharge was accompanied with a Board of Inquiry. Not until the Inquiry has sat could a Charge be made against the person discharging a weapon. Under no circumstances had the bright sparks realised that when a weapon is discharged

POPSWhat kind of Experience? (The quote is from a comment on that site, not an article) Barack has been in office three years, and running for President for two of those. Palin has been Governor, _actively_ for two years, and has other experience before that. It's kind of funny the way this is turning into a race between Obama and Palin. But then, between Obama and McCain, experience isn't something the media wants to talk about.

POPSWho Cares about Size of Government? How about Competent Government? Don't be so scared of government that you serve it, instead of it serving you. Revolutions of the past did not protest how much governments were doing for their well-being. Fundamentally, if taxes had ever been used to actually deliver services to the people instead of funding monarchs and their wars, there might be less fear of taxes. Overcome your fears. Make your government serve you. Like the French providing household assistance services for free to all new moms a few hours a week until the mother feels ready to handle everything.

POPSDidactic architectures and organization models: a process of mutual adaptation This article aims to establish a parallel between the organizational models and the didactic architectures used by businesses to manage internal training. The objective is to understand whether so-called "eLearning 2.0" (eLearning based on the tools and approaches typical of web 2.0) can be useful in different frameworks and organisations. In this context, the paper looks at whether it is possible to identify a mutual process of adaptation among the organizational and training models we term didactic architectures.

POPSDare to Be Yourself - from Psychology Today I was reading my friend feed stream and someone posted a link to this article. I had some insane realizations this weekend and this is definitely among the list. Though, this is one I think we deal with on and off again through our lives - being authentic and having a core self. Definitely fascinating and interesting.
